Context 1、Insulate installation tools to prevent electric shocks. 2、According to the power value of the inverter, the power cable should be connected. If multiple batteries are used in parallel, the power cables should be connected according to the wiring mode in Figure 9. The V-Power S14 power cable connection method adopts a self-locking connector.

Figure 9. Connect the internal cables Connect the P+ & P- power cables to the inverter. Figure 10. Connect the external cables The self-locking connector's color should correspond to the V-Power S14 terminal's color: orange corresponds to the positive pole, and black corresponds to the negative pole. Please take care of the removed V-Power S14 protective cover in case of backup.
2.5 Connecting Communication Cable Context Please pay attention to the direction when plugging the communication cable connector, do not operate violently. Communication cables and power cables must be routed separately. If there are multiple V-Power S14 in parallel, you need to connect the communication cables in parallel first.
Page 18
For the wiring diagram of the inverter to the user side, please refer to the user manual of inverter. Please confirm the usage scenarios of the inverter according to the actual situation. For details, please refer to the user manual of inverter. The communication cable to the inverter contains L&N cable (220V power supply for BMS).
3 Operation 3.1 Check before Power-on Context After installing the V-Power S14, users need to perform a pre-power check to ensure that the device installation and cable connection are correct before performing the power-on operation. Procedure Check whether the V-Power S14 sequence is consistent with the layout diagram. Check the cable connection on site.

Before performing the power-on commissioning on the V-Power S14, users must strictly perform the pre-power- on check. All batteries are equipped with 50% capacity. Prerequisites Before power on, need ensure that all power cables and communication cables are connected well. Procedure Battery power on is divided into three categories: (1) One single battery power on (no parallel connection), (2) Multiple batteries power on in parallel, (3) Batteries expand power on in parallel.
According to the categories (1) or (2), the original battery and inverter to power on first, and make the original battery capacity is above 50%; Closed the ON/OFF switch of one new expansion battery, at this time the battery Run/Alarm ...
4 Maintenance The engineering personnel who perform the following operations must have received professional training. Before operating and maintaining the V-Power S14, wear anti-static work clothes, anti-static gloves, and wrist straps, and remove conductive objects such as jewelry and watches to avoid electric shock or burns. All V-Power S14 internal maintenance work requires insulated tools and should be performed by personnel who ...
Table 9. Monthly maintenance Item Refer Standard Abnormal Handling Suggestion The appearance is neat and clean without If there is dirt on the surface, clean the stains. V-Power S14's appearance with a cotton cloth. The V-Power S14 terminals are intact. ...
